You could check the server port in your login.js and take a different control path based on that.
What would you need to disable auto terminal detection?
The answer.* file is displayed before login.js is executed, so you might want your answer.asc a blank/0-byte file (your answer.ans could contain ANSI since it'll only be displayehd to ANSI-detected terminals).
